The Women of South Brisbane Cemetery night tour is a special experience because you will explore a large, beautiful and historical cemetery under the stars and trees with the people who know it best, and discover some Real History. You will visit select graves to hear the stories of women who were laid to rest in the cemetery, and learn how their lives and deaths (be they tragic or inspirational) reflect the history of women in Queensland. Everything you hear will be factual and sourced from historical records.
